Smile Together India Foundation

About This Organization

Founded in 2019 to support families in one of India's poorest regions — people facing hunger and shut out of basic education and healthcare. The work serves those everyone else steps over: Dalit families, poor widows, the elderly, people with disabilities, women, and children without family support. Rice carried into homes, wool blankets before the cold turns deadly, a doctor brought to a village that has never had one. WholeFam serves as the primary US sponsor.

Their Model

Small, trustworthy local team with double-entry books, photographs, and direct relationships — reaching the people large organizations and government never reach.

Strengths
